This baskets course is aimed at beginners. If you have made a few baskets before, please also see our baskets course – 2 days
The willow (“wicker”) we use during our courses has either been organically grown by us on site here at Bore Place, or has been brought up from the withybeds in Somerset and Devon. None of it has been imported from abroad. You will need simple tools to make baskets – bodkin, knife, rapping iron, some secateurs. These will all be provided during the course. We also recommend a basketry book – Willow Work by Mary Butcher. You will have the opportunity to buy a book at the end of the course. In addition, you will also have the option to purchase extra willow to take home for further basketry projects.
